Re: Semantic UI – A language for sharing UI
#22Can you guys please stop whining about the name and talk about the features? Didn't your elementary school teacher tell you not to judge a book by its cover? They could always change the name if they had to. They never actually say they're semantic HTML, it could have other meanings. Or, you know, it could just be a name. There's plenty of projects with meaningless names.

#23I wouldn't call writing "ui large red labeled icon button" in HTML semantic anything. I'd called it confusing orgy of style and content.
Yeah that one was too specific for my liking I don't think you should use colors names like 'red' as a class. What if you decide you don't want it to be red?
Remove the "red" class from the element?
I used to eschew any and all presentational classes, but it makes development quicker for me to use them occasionally, esp with css frameworks.

#24Showing a modal takes ages on Chrome on iPad, presumably as the blurred background is being rendered.

#25In their examples, none of their buttons were actually buttons. Nor were they even links. They were all DIVs. This is pretty terrible HTML, for many reasons, especially for accessibility.
I really liked it visually speaking but yes, buttons implemented as divs it's sad.

Don't be an idiot.
Semantic UI has a meaning. The authors chose to ignore its meaning while trading on the cachet of the name. While their web dev skills may be unsurpassed, it's a reasonable criteria on which to judge them.

#27Sorry if i misunderstand it, but where is the semantic and where the ui?
This contradicts to all efforts of the last years for real symantec and a good readable html page with simple customizable css.
I see you intention to make a page readable for an ui designer and add symantec to ui elements. But whom help this? (except a designer)
Re: Semantic UI – A language for sharing UI
#28Great idea except you don't namespace anything! I like namespaces because one library or css import from another won't ever stomp on each other. I've seen 'ui', 'button' and 'red' in several other packages and places. They're going to conflict. The one with the greatest specifity is going to win and cause untold hours of frustrating debugging.

#29I like the design a lot better than Bootstrap, but I don't think "Semantic UI" matches the implementation.

#30What I'd really like is a UI toolkit for developers that goes
Frankly, Bootstrap is exactly that, for me. I've been converting our products (Webmin/Virtualmin, which are 15 and 10 year old codebases, respectively, and it shows badly in the current UI). Converting to Bootstrap, while extremely time-consuming, is not requiring significant design skill on my part to make everything look freaking awesome.
